My apologies to the butchering of your name, proofreading is fundamental.

Well put Mr. Cotton. I stand by my assertion that todays kids in general (with exception to RagRiz) are more immature than yesteryears, however we must take the good with the bad and grant them full adulthood in all apsects. Ragriz point about their beliefs can likely be tied to the crap Hollywood spews out. I meet plenty of adults that want to "register" their guns.

During WW II, it was 18, 19 and 20 year olds who piloted the U.S. bombers and fighters in our war against the Boche. If the 18, 19-20 year olds of yesteryear could pilot a B-17 full of bombs to their target and back while fighting off hordes of Luftwaffe ME-109's; surely to goodness, today's 18, 19-20 year olds are responsible and mature enough to walk/ride around with a loaded handgun containing a dozen or so cartridges?

Have you met todays kids? in general they have been turned into spoiled helpless idiots by the govt and school system. The kids of WW2 were a lot more mature than todays batch. I have a good example here at the house. 13 yr old girl in advanced classes but cant do basic life stuff and falls up the stairs! I do agree that the law needs to draw a line in the sand on the age of majority, 18 or 21. I prefer 18 for previous posters reasons but still think they may not be ready in general.
